HappyMomma - He's always clean and well fed before bed, and he does do a little crying on his way to sleep, but he's out quick. He wears overnight diapers to bed too. Do you think he'll just stop eating at night on his own? Did your daughter do that? If so, how old was she? (assuming she did wake up at night for bottles, my mother said I slept through the night since I was born haha) I don't trust everything books say. I was thinking of discussing it with his pediatrician too when we go next. The book also said something about weening a baby off of night time feedings. Like making it less and less over time. As in, from 3 times a night to 2 and then down to one until eventually they sleep through the night. Or do I just keep feeding him as often as he wakes up for it and he'll grow out of it maybe?
